Has nayone ever taken a young family to Pamps?

Hi, I have been to Pamps for a few years running now and have enjoyed the experience. My wife would like to come this year with our young family, they are 9, 5, 3 and 9 months. Has anyone ever taken a young family before, and if so, what were your experiences?

Hi - yes I have been the last few years with my family who are now 10, 8 and just 5. Its a great family resort. Normally the big hassle when skiing is the carrying of all the equipment about but here you can leave it all at the slopes. We stay at Snezhanka where the buses start from so we are guaranteed a seat on the bus.
The Bulgarians love kids and we were made welcome everywhere we went. In the restaurants they were always good at making food suggestions for the children and there's ...

The Bulgarians love kids and we were made welcome everywhere we went. In the restaurants they were always good at making food suggestions for the children and there's plenty of entertainment to keep the kids happy. The ice skating is reasonably priced as is the snow tubing. I would say Pamps is a very family friends resort.

Last year we took our twin grandsons aged six months grand daughter aged 6 years and another grandson aged eleven years for Christmasand we all had a fabulous time. We ate out in restaurants all the time and the catering for the kids was always good. Apart from not brilliant snow which was not the resorts fault the kids all enjoyed the skiing. This was the second year running my grandaughter had been and she now keeps on about going for Christmas again.

Michlle, that may be a plan. Will my three year old be able to go to Knidergarten Ski?

We took a pushchair and travel cot which did not count towards luggage allowance. The only down side is the fact that smoking is still allowed in retaurants and bars. We also took a Nana for baby sitting!!!!!!!!!!

re: Has nayone ever taken a young family to Pamps?

My three year old went to the kindergarten (but we did lie and say she was 4)
She was skiing the following year - she had a one to one lesson with Pete from Interski and then she was away!
We never found the smoking a problem - perhaps we were lucky but I think its gradually becoming less acceptable everywhere.
